I've never seen this one Gail.  Thanks for showing it :)

First in my garden is the altogether more common P. ludlowii which I like despite its eagerness to take over the world. 
P. cambessedesii also began this week but often struggles to open its flowers properly.  Maybe temperatures are too low or variable.

I have posted there before many years pictures of my P.decomposita :)

My plants are still alive :)

ashley:
Thank you Hans.  Yes I'd forgotten this & didn't do a search.

ruweiss:
Paeonia ostii.
Paeonia Chamaeleon is interesting for changing the colors of thr flowers during
the flowering time. Not as quick like the fascinating reptile, but quite unusual nevertheless.
Wild bees and bumblebees love all the wild peonies for the big amount of pollen they produce.

Maggi Young:
How cheering to see that your paeonies are flowering already, Rudi!  still too cold here  in Aberdeen and not much gowth on them yet.
